Your location...

would be helpful. I use to do the same thing while I was going to college. I worked for free until I learn how to mount. Then he paid me by the head. I got a set amount per head I mounted. Until I learn to mount I also helped him with his meat processing. If you find someone in your location you may be able to do other things (like answer phone) until you learn how to mount. Just remember most people are going to be afraid you will open your own business as soon as you learn, then try to under cut them. Good luck!

I'd like to learn as well

I am also very interested in learning taxidermy. Mostly interested in game heads and mammals to start. I'm not looking to undercut anyone just wanting to pick up a hobby that someday might support my hunting habit. I'm in Idaho so if anyone out there is willing to teach me I'd be willing to compensate them for their time and efforts
